    I had no idea Rambus was still around. I thought they died out after the complete failure of Intels Rambus based system a number of years ago.

    They've been irking a living out of patent trolling. So, business as usual for Rambus.

    I wish they had been held guilty. It is blatently obvious they subverted the standards committee and abused the system.
    Upside was that Intel saw this and ditched RDRAM as it was WAY too expensive.

    They are only in it to make money.
